    Blegh and stuff

    I should really write more... and this blog post is really just a way to try and motivate myself to do it. Here's hoping!

    Update soon

    I'll have a new chapter ready soon! Might be a week longer though as I've been busy with work. But the good news is I'll be finishing work this Sunday until 27th December so I might be able to get a coulple of chapters pumped out during that time! Here's hoping. :twilightsmile:

Changes and Pony Writing Month · 9:20pm Jul 27th, 2012

Not sure how many readers pay attention to this but it'd be interesting to get some feedback.
I was thinking of entering the Equestria Daily writing Contest for August. Not entirely sure how it would affect Changes' update schedule but it may have an adverse effect on it. Obviously I wouldn't place the contest over my first story here and neglect it, I'd quit the contest first, but I was wondering if anybody would prefer me not to do it and just concentrate on what I'm writing at the moment.

I have a Trixie/Twlight ship fic outlined and I thought the contest would be a good place to start it up with, the word count goal is only 50,000 words and I can easily do that.

Also, Olympic Opening Ceremony has been great fun so far, James Bond and The Queen jumping out of a helicopter? Brilliant. All we need is Doctor Who somewhere and I'll be happy. Can't help but think Vinyl would have made the whole thing much more impressive, however... but that's just my pony obsession showing.

Go for it, your writing is amazing! :pinkiehappy:

Go for it, just make sure that you keep going with Changes as well, that's been my favorite story since i started reading these things! :pinkiesmile:

Do it, brah.

If that last update show anything it is that most of us can wait. Do something like the story of the month is a great way to expand your repertoire. I say go ahead and enter it and we'll sit back and reap the rewards that come from it; those being a different fic as well as a bit more well rounded author.

sounds' great to me, could be a lot of fun, go for it. :pinkiehappy:

Go for it! Don't believe in yourself! Believe in me who believes in you!

May not be a big fan of that particular ship but if you want to do it go for it, good luck!:rainbowdetermined2:


James Bond and the Queen jumped out of a helicopter?:rainbowlaugh: I must of missed that part.:pinkiehappy:

254110
It was right at the start, about 21:20 in UK time, I was lucky to catch it as I'd just got home. It was definitely the highlight in my opinion :rainbowlaugh:

if you feel like you should idd say go for it, im currently following a ton of stories so a few days off is something idd hardly notice. besides, a well written twixie ship is allways alot of fun to read so im curious as to what youll make of it :)

if you join, i wish you all the best of luck! :pinkiehappy:

Ive not seen an update for changes, so i'm excited that your still working on it.

254198
I haven't updated again this week yet, but I did update last Monday 23rd July

Fresh I am a lover of changes. (Obviously) I think doing another story could actually help you a little. Plus a contest is always fun. (Oh dear Luna you made a new chapter and I haven't read it yet?! I must be off!)

Go for it mate :pinkiehappy:

also I was a little disappointed by the Olympic openings it had nothing to do with sport for an hour and a half and instead it just cemented the OLD UK stereo type the world sees us with, yes it was an interesting umm ... thing but it could of focused on the Olympic a bit more and not Merry popping and the NHS!!
:facehoof: For me it is not a proud day to be British.

Also yeah James bond and the Queen was cool though no argument there :twilightsmile:

254345
Well we don't exactly have much to offer, considering our economic stand point at the moment, we just had to big up the stuff we'd done in the past and what we're known for. It was really just a way to sell ourselves to the rest of the world. The Beijing opening ceremony was much the same, but they did it for the future instead. I quite enjoyed it :twilightsmile: The lighting of the Olympic Stadium Flame was pretty amazing. :raritystarry:

I want to say that you should continue on Changes. :pinkiesad2: But that is me being selfish. :ajsleepy: I really think you should go for it :twilightsmile:

254362 Yeah I see your point, hell its the reason we've not had a pay rise ... again :ajbemused:

And the caldron was very clever. will be hard to follow at the next Olympics ay :ajsmug:

255839
I've not had a pay rise, I've actually had the pay targets increased, so now they're harder to get... :ajsleepy:

255913 I know that pain, I'm a collection driver and my round has been doubled BUT we can't run over hours because as drivers our work hours are set by law, so if we don't manage it on time well it gets ugly :ajsleepy:

255958
Well I think you have it more difficult than me then, I just have to sell more cars, extras and finance to hit target. Some of the driver's who transport our cars have to stop over on a side street somewhere if they miss the drop off times... they're not happy about that sometimes...

255990 yeah damn digital tacos:twilightangry2:
But at least they get a mandatory 45 minutes brakes every 4 and a half hours :ajsmug:

just tell them to call it P,O,A. That will really P:derpyderp2:s them off :rainbowlaugh:

256028
I dunno, some of them are pretty big, they might not appreciate it :rainbowlaugh: Last one had an argument with the salesmanager because he wanted to unload his truck and make the drop to the point he was threating to do it in the customer car park. Sales manager told him he could but he'd lock the gates and he'd be staying there anyway haha.

256040 :rainbowlaugh: Nice.
also don't let size fool ya, as drivers we tend to be very lazy so if your a fast runner you should be ok ... as long as you don't go along the road cus we'll just jump in the truck and well ... splat!!

256052
Yeah, not much of a fast runner, but I could weave around all sorts of cars, I'm sure I'd tire them out eventually :rainbowlaugh: Wouldnt get ran over then, I suppose.

We did need Doctor Who...

Still, go for the competition!

256059 Yep that would do it, also we get easily distracted by shiny things :raritywink:

256073
So chuck a few 5 pence pieces and run in the opposite direction?

256085 :ajsmug: works every time. :pinkiegasp: SHINY!!

256090
I best make sure I have a pound in 5p change on me if I end up confronted by one then. Or polish the cars a ridiculous amount and hide behind them...

256112 LoL yeah or you could point behind them and shout VOSA! and run :rainbowdetermined2:

256117
And what does VOSA mean?

256132 Vehicle and Operator Services Agency its the people who give out and take away driving license, If they catch you over weight (vehicle wise) or other wise unsafe your pretty much screwed.

:trixieshiftright: and they take no prisoners when it comes to professional drivers

256141
So when I see those 'how's my driving' signs I should give them a ring? :pinkiehappy:

256146 yep ... wait :twilightoops: what have I done!! :twilightsmile: oh well, we drivers have no loyalty to each other anyway :rainbowlaugh: thats why we cut each other up all the time

256149
You'll be sorry now when you get pulled for an anonymous tip about your driving :trollestia:

256158 :pinkiegasp: NOOOooooooooo...............

256160
Thankfully for you I'm not nearly mentally unstable enough to go on a vendetta against lorry drivers on the off chance that I catch you out with it. :pinkiecrazy:

256166 :trollestia: who said I drive lorrys

256170
What do you drive? :scootangel:

256173 I am one of the most hated and evil of professional drivers I'm a white van driver :yay: MWHAHAHA

256177
Ah, the ones that stop about an inch away from my bumper when the red lights are on... seriously, do you get paid extra for doing that? :fluttercry:

256180 No we only get extra if we run cars off the road completely, the bumper stuff gos back the shiny thing again, you should try a different wax one that's less shiny and they should leave a bigger gap ... maybe :scootangel:

256185
Its a good job my car's faster, then I just rocket away from them when the lights go green :ajsmug:
Of course it's also fun to slow down to thirty when a van is bombing it down a road behind me, I can just imagine the frustration they feel :rainbowlaugh:

256190:rainbowlaugh: yeah. you should do it going up hill it works way better because they struggle to get going again due the the weight of the cargo :trollestia: really annoying :ajbemused: dang it I did it again

256201
Oh, I'll definitely be doing that now, ideally on a slip road going up a motorway... that way I can shoot off somewhere in case they get angry enough to follow me :rainbowlaugh:

256206 the older vans are better too as they tend to stall :raritywink:

256210
Also makes them more dangerous too as they're worth half of nothing, they'd write their van off just to write my car off haha

256214 its the rented ones you got to lookout for those guys are crazy nuts :pinkiecrazy:

256219
You know, you've instilled a great fear in me of van men. I already avoid them at work when they come in to buy commercials, now I'm going to have to go in different directions to them on the road... :applecry:

256225 :scootangel: it probably for the best. you see to drive LGV's or 7 and a half tonners you need further training same as bus's (all of which I can drive :rainbowdetermined2:) same as HGV's (:fluttershysad: which I can't) but you every day van be it long wheel base, short wheel base, tall, small or whatever can all be driven on a normal car license with no other training needed and well in truth it never ends well.

256238
Aye, I can drive vans, just not very well. I hate having to reverse the big high roof, LWB ones, especially if they don't have parking sensors, keep thinking I'll hit something. But oh well, the few times I have had to sell them to someone I always got them to buy the sensors and ply-lining and tow-bars.
